I’ve done my share of criticism of media framing and false objectivity but the pieces you see people getting mad at it are not all the content these outlets publish

In 2014 the BBC was the Unions greatest weapon against Scottish independence, with objectivity tossed out the window to save status quo. Essler, Marr, & Robinson were just a few of the journalists who jettisoned their objectivity to help. Don't get fooled again.

It also gives the illusion of objectivity while amplifying those biases.

The funniest part is that this is completely justified under any basically any broadcast editorial standard.

Maybe it's neoliberalism.
Maybe it's also because attempts at trendspotting allow the performance of neutrality and objectivity, and speculating about trends is easier than...thinking.

The neoliberal media logic not only thrives on conflict and scandal, it also lives off hypes. None of these serve the democratic citizen or the democratic system.
Going from “populism is unstoppable” to “populism is dead” (and back) obscures more about contemporary politics than it highlights.

How do we help American media get over this preoccupation with "objectivity" in reporting?
No one believes in objectivity anymore, and scholars in fields like critical race theory have shown how belief in objectivity normalizes structural racism, among other rights abuses.
Why can't they stop?

A reminder that it is actually allowed to be accurate in your headlines. Not calling him a white supremacist is a choice.
So when the British and American press choose not to call him that, they are making a choice.

this highlights a problem with the US press, which is that the toxic myth of "journalistic objectivity" leads to almost all legacy journalism becoming mealymouthed centrist bullshit at the very best, and off the rails right wing abuse at the very worst

And this disciplinary apparatus is framed as neutral, as operating in line with objective standards of good conduct, when it is anything but. Indeed the very guise objectivity of these standards is such that their predication upon the conduct of some (white) users is what allows for the concealment.

go to Cook Political Report , tell me what you see .
it’s fascinating to see how so much of this discussion and political consulting for a while has relied on non diverse , hidden standards that treat their lack of knowledge like objectivity
And the media that “checks them” is the same

This is not surprising now that you lay it out this way, but somehow Cook has always been seen as the gold standard of objectivity. But his interview with @gregsargent.bsky.social right before Election Day really laid bare, in my view, just how fossilized his notions of US politics were

words are just a combination of letters and syllables, there is no objectivity to them that you can declare; offense is cultural and practical, and you know, like, literally every Jewish person I've ever engaged with has called it a slur, so that makes it one.
